Customer reviews for Total Tree Care, Inc.
Brian Rudolph
Todd is a passionate, knowledgeable expert who did an excellent job assessing trees on our property. We spoke in depth about potential future plans, no cutting/pruning work was pushed on me. This is the second year we have had him come out for an annual inspection, and we will be trusting Total Tree Care going forward!
Provider response
Thanks, Brian! Earning Trust is at the heart of everything we do, and we appreciate the opportunity to continuously earn your's!

Tree doctor Todd stopped at my house this spring to discuss my crepe Myrtle’s that I planted 4 years ago and have never flowered and get ugly looking in the summer. He suggested we treat it with his insect killer and vitamin cocktail which they did. My trees have never looked better and are now starting to flower for the first time ever. Thank you guys.

Do not recommend for evaluation of shrubs and foundation plants. Arborist had limited knowledge on diagnosis and recommended treatments. Arborist referred me to Clemson for help. Should not be sent out for issues other than trees.
Provider response
Interesting, considering you personally told me, while, literally, standing in your yard, that you learned quite a lot from our meeting as you paid me with a smile on your face before I left. I, too, was smiling, as I was just informed that we had serviced yet another happy client. During my visit we observed and discussed every single plant in your yard, identified over-watering issues and improper pest & fungal treatments and discussed the overall viability of each of your plants in our area. We also discussed you foundations soils in depth, and in that vein I did make you aware that Clemson Extension Service offers quality soil testing for SC residents at a discounted rate. This all happened at 7:30-8:30 Friday morning, 6/26/26. Now, on Tuesday 6/30/26, you've decided that I know nothing of which I speak. Thank for taking the time to avail yourself of our services and then turn right around and do damage to our firm. Plan on receiving your check back in the mail, as accepting payment from you under these absurd circumstances is completely out of the question. Best of luck with your life and landscape. <br>

Gary Kattler
We have used Total Tree Care for years and appreciate the care and dedication they show to their work. Our Oaks are thriving because of the pruning they have received, plus the fact that they haul everything away , leaving your yard clean. Thank you
Provider response
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service and for the great feedback!

Experts for sure - Todd knows Live Oaks in and out. I had asked friends and neighbors (with serious interest in tree care) who I should contact - they all gave me Total Tree Care. His expertise and recommendations are second to none. Thanks!!!
Provider response

Frank Butts
This is the second time we have used TTC for our home in Pawleys Island. The evaluation of our property, trees was very comprehensive and the work was done with speed and great detail. We could not be more satisfied with this company and their staff.

J Burt
I originally called Total Tree Care for advise on a tree in my front yard. I was concerned as to possible disease, roots growing too close to the house, roots growing above the ground, etc. All of my questions and then some were answered with a great wealth of knowledge. I was left with ideas to think about and assistance in how to move forward. Next steps - buffer pruning - and some much needed compost for the yard. Oh and Yes my tree is in great shape! Thanks Todd for your patience with my questions and your wealth of knowledge and thanks to Vanessa for being so timely in returning my calls and answering my emails posted on there website contact and getting me set with my next appointment. Don't hesitate to contact them and get the answers you need.
Provider response
Thank you for your trust in us and for your kind words!
Christine
From our first interaction with Vanessa on the phone to Todd’s on-premise visit, we are very impressed with the professionalism of this company.
Provider response
Thank you for mentioning Vanessa, she is a great person with a strong passion for excellence!
Lisa Arnold
He won't stop harassing me.
Provider response
This review has been posted by a woman who recently obtained a phone number that was previously owned by an underage relative of mine. I unknowingly used that old number on a group text I sent. Lisa then received it, purely by accident. Lisa then responded with vile profanity, which was viewed by my entire family. We chose to have some fun amongst ourselves on the thread to make light of things, at her expense, to be certain. I then deleted the thread and told her so. Afterwards, her son, supposedly an attorney in Nashville, threatened to sue me over our group fun because, as stated by him, Lisa was in Hospice at the time. Of course, we had no idea or any way of knowing that. All we knew was that someone was in our text thread and cursing at us. I've apologized to her son and asked for this negative review to be removed.<br>If you're reading this, then that hasn't happened yet. Unfortunate, to be sure. Apparently, her review will now and forever serve as her obituary. <br>May she rest in Peace and may God comfort her family.

Todd was amazing. He possessed a wealth of knowledge about trees. He was an excellent communicator; he listened carefully, asked questions, and was able to provide pertinent information about the topic with which we were concerned. Todd was not rushed. His attention to our concerns, and his knowledge, convinced us we would be repeat customers. We HIGHLY recommend Todd and Total Tree Care. Thank you Todd and Total Tree Care!
Provider response
Thank you for your kind words!
Tammy Black
Wow, what a professional. Just when I thought all of the customer-service oriented businesses were all but extinct, along comes Todd Stephenson. He was such a pleasure to deal with and his knowledge and ability to share that knowledge with us, was nothing short of EXCELLENT! I can't recommend this company highly enough. The office staff was wonderful as well, so polite and efficient. They are the diamond in the rough around this area!
Provider response
Thanks so very much for the awesome feedback! Looking forward to seeing those great palm trees you guys planted grow!
Janine Entwistle
Todd Stephenson is a knowledgeable professional who is passionate about his work. He met me for a consultation to look at a sick tree in one of my associations. While he was there, he took the time to look at all the trees and pointed out several additional concerns. Trees are a valuable asset, and Todd has the skills and knowledge to keep them healthy and strong.
Provider response
Thank you for the great review!
D'Ann O'Donovan
How often have you asked a service of any type to come to your home to see what needs to be done; and, after they arrive they tell you everything is fine and you can wait until Spring/Summer to make any changes if needed. That was my experience with Todd and the reason I want to tell you he is a trustworthy, reliable businessman. He is knowledgeable and knows his trade. He won't do something unless he knows it's the best for the trees and for the client. And he has a team that hold his same integrity. They're the best.
Provider response
Thanks for the great review, it's an honor to be of service!
Lori Burrow
Not only are Todd and his crew the best at what they do, they are some of the friendliest! They were pruning the palms at the main office of Axelrod & Associates yesterday and a couple of them made it a point to spoke to me when I arrived, and another opened the door for me when he saw my hands were full. Top notch!
Provider response
Thanks for the great review, it's an honor to be of service!
Elizabeth Langston
As always, Todd's crew did an excellent job pruning, removing large dead limbs, and raising the canopies of 4 of our large oak trees. Todd, the only Arborist in the area at the time we moved here in 2000, was recommended to me by Clemson. In 2002, he removed 3 pine trees and a dying oak, ground the stumps and saved a construction damaged oak in our front yard. He replaced the removed oak with a live oak that is now a beautiful, huge tree that is a great addition to our home. The guys that did the work this week were excellent and impressed me with their cleaning up. There was not a single piece of wood or leaf in the yard when they left. Total Tree Care has been taking care of our trees ever since the first time and is the reason our trees are the envy of the community. I recommend Todd for any tree work you want done right the first time.
